Hello and welcome to the Consistency Project podcast. I'm Patrick Cummings here. As always with E.C. Sankowski. Every week, we aim to simplify the principles and practices of nutrition, health, and fitness. Thank you so much for tuning into the show. Hello, EC. How are you?

Hey, good. How are you? Wonderfulous. Good to see you. Welcome everybody. We are, this week, we're going to talk about which is better diet or exercise

we are going to settle the age old debate and i assume we're going to also define what better is

in this context i guess we will so i think we're going to have to uh before we do quick mention

is so good. It's as like a standalone podcast
